Itt Texas már esik az elmúlt pár napban. A hőmérséklet is csökkent egy kicsit. Although it hasn’t yet officially begun, you can already feel Fall in the air.

On days like this, there is nothing better to serve than a nice, hot bowl of soup, don’t you think?!

This kind of weather reminds me of that in Southern Brazil, a region whose cuisine has been considerably influenced by Italian immigrants. So I decided to recreate a delicious soup that I had the pleasure of enjoying when I traveled to the South of my country (Rio Grande do Sul State) a few years ago.

It’s hearty, comforting, and a complete meal in and of itself.

Élvez!
